If you are scratched by a newborn kitten, you do not need rabies vaccination if the skin is not broken, but you may need to be vaccinated if the skin is broken. A newborn kitten is unlikely to be directly infected with the rabies virus, but if it is not a newborn kitten but a cat that has been outside, rabies infection cannot be ruled out. If the cat has scratched its skin, it will need to be vaccinated against rabies at the nearest vaccination station. Rabies virus mainly enters the subcutaneous nervous system through the broken skin, and then enters the central nervous system and causes the disease to develop.
